OVERVIEW OF THE CLASSES

Today: Ch. 4 and 5
- Important: Ch 4: not directly for the exam, but the tools we need for all the other chapters
o Basic demand-supply mechanisms, import demand, export supply, tariff and what it
does to welfare

§ But to apply it in the later chapters
- Ch 5: liberalization in the preferential way
o Starting from free trade world à imposition of tariff on imports & exports à looking
at the EU (all other trade agreements in the world) à what happens if a group of
countries decides to liberalize trade, not with the entire world, but with a number of
countries, while other countries are still subject to tariffs

, GRADING

Two important parts
- Presentation (25% of grade)
o Half October with group formation
- Written exam (75% of grade)
o Book, slides, lectures (also guest lectures)
o Open questions à choose 2 out of 3 questions

Usually more slides than we cover in class
- Slides we won’t cover à important for general understanding and to fully grasp the book
- The slides we cover together are exam material, the others not so much


BRAINSTORM

ECB
- European Central Bank
- Macroeconomic policy
o Monetary policy
§ Country will change the interest rates
§ Increase: more difficult to take out loans à slow down economy
§ Lower: cheaper to get a loan à boost economy
o Fiscal policy à taxes
§ Lower à boost economy
§ Higher à slow down economy
- Countries that chose to introduce euro à surrendered their monetary policy to the ECB
o They still have their fiscal policy tho
§ Can still play with taxes
o Cannot decide on their own the interest rates anymore
§ Set by the ECB
- Located in Frankfurt
- They set one interest rate for the entire Eurozone
o If you have diff economic circumstances in diff MS, you can still only set one interest
rate
o It’s a coordination for the Eurozone, but very difficult to cater to diff circumstances
o Cfr. prelude to the Crisis
§ Too high for Germany, too low for Spain and Ireland which were fostering a
housing bubble

European taxes
- Fiscal policy has an automatic part
o Economic slowdown: tax revenue is less
- Also tax rates that you can set
o MS still have quite a lot of jurisdiction to set tax levels
§ Companies that operate in diff MS are subject to diff tax levels
